21: Unsusceptible to Conversation

"Mia! What the hell are you doing? You can't just barge in here like that!" Jordan scolded me.

I was still standing there completely confused with my mouth hanging open and scrapping the floor. There Jordan sat on his chair, his hands gripping a deck of cards or was Jordan the other man sitting on the other side of the desk, gripping his deck of cards. Yeah my worst nightmares were coming true, there were two of them.

"Wait what?"

Jordan – at least I think it was Jordan – stood up from his chair and walked over to me. The minute I glanced in his eyes I knew this was Jordan. "I said you can't barge in here like that. Now turn around, knock and then walk in." He suggested with a smirk.

"Wait which one is Jordan?" Julie quickly said before Jordan could shove us out of the room.

"Uh me, why?" He said and eyed Julie spuriously. I looked into his eyes and saw little recognition.

"Right. Now which one is the one I slept with?" She said getting straight to the point. Jordan flinched seemingly a little stunned at her question – or was it her directness? While what I would assume was his brother just leaned against the desk with his hands in his pockets. His eyes were green as well but different – more green with a yellow ting to them where Jordan's appeared more blue green. His gaze traveled to each and every one of us as if way up a decision.

Slowly he looked eyes with Jordan and it was as if there was a secret conversation going on between them before he rolled his eyes and stuck his hand up in the air like a six year old answering a question in class. He held his hand up for a moment before seeing Julies glare and then casually moved it to scratch his head. Nice move other Jordan.

Everyone turned to stare at him. Both Julie and Jordan were glaring at him while was just looking for the differences and similarities between the two. They looked about the same age, the other one looked a little taller but that could be because of the different hair style.

"Why do I feel like I'm on trial here?" he asked and gave a worried look.

"Because you are." Jordan said through clenched teeth, he looked mad, like madder than I have ever seen him.

"I'm pregnant and it's yours. Have a nice life." Julie quickly blurted out before spinning around on her heel and walking out of the room. Jordan's eyes widened and he raised his eye brows at me before looking back at his brother with an expressionless glare.

The other Jordan slouched and looked beyond shocked, he looked like Julie had just walked up to him and slapped him with a fish before walking out with nothing but a word. He looked between me and Jordan with panic in his eyes. "What do I do?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "You go after her you idiot and tell her you want to be apart the baby's life." I said losing control of my brain to mouth filter. Did I just call him an idiot? Oops.

"And if I don't?"

"Thomas!" Jordan yelled scolding the other Jordan – Thomas.

"Fine, relax I'm going." He held up his hands and ducked his head as if waiting for a hit and quickly started walking out of the office and after Julie.

When the door shut I looked over at Jordan and couldn't help but smile at the whole situation. He looked at me with a number of emotions but the main one I was picking up on was confusion. Jordan gave me a soft smile and made his way back over to his desk chair where he slouched down and relaxed into the plush soft fabric. I followed him over and decided to sit on his desk with my foot resting on the chair beside his leg.

"So your brother I take it?" I said raising an eye brown at him questionably.

"Twin actually."

"Ah I see." I smiled happy to know that I can pick him from his twin and still a little relieved that it wasn't Jordan who was Julie's baby daddy.

"So your friend thought it was me I take it?" He asked interlocking his fingers together and placing them on his lap.

"Yep. Apparently he said his name was Jordan Wilder." I told him and I picked up his paper weight and started turning it over in my hands.

"So you thought you come here, barge in and scream at me for having a one night stand with your friend?" I looked down at him and saw his amused smile.

"Well I hadn't thought that through yet. But it wasn't you so it doesn't matter... unless you're lying." I beamed at the news it wasn't him and then my voice died to a threatening tone as if I was daring him to lie to me.

"No trust me it's not and my brother always uses my name when he heads out at night." He shook his head in disgust at the news.

"Why?" I couldn't believe someone would use their brothers' name when picking up girls, what was wrong with his name?

"Because when they get all upset and want another fling they end up at my door and not his."

"Oh my god he's a genius."

"Yeah he thinks so too." He chuckled. "Is your friend sure it's Thomas' baby?" He asked and I could feel a slight distrust in his voice. I suppose I couldn't snap at him for calling Julie a liar since he was only protecting his brother's interests.

"No trust me she's not. Julie hates kids and would never lie about anything like this. And if she had been with another guy since that night I would have heard about it." I explained, looking down at the paper weight in my hands before I sat the heavy object back on the desk.

"She wouldn't get rid of it, she doesn't like abortion." I shook my head as I told him, looking into his slightly panicked eyes.

He sighed in relief and let the small smirk creep back onto his lips. "Good."

"Your brother didn't look too happy."

"Thomas is just being an idiot, besides if he lets her go with that child my family would disown him." He explained with a shrug as if it were no big deal or major decision.

"They'd do that?"

"My parents struggled to have children; my brother and I were the only ones who lived long enough to be born so they have very strict beliefs against abortion of any form." He explained and I could see a slight pain at the memory.

"It must have been tough."

"It was okay, we got spoiled a little – mainly by dad – but with mum it felt like we had to make up for it which included playing dress ups and having tea parties and yes there is photos and no you will never see them." His smile widened and I couldn't help the laughter that escaped me.

"Oh no you don't. I have to see these."

"You will never, Thomas and I burned them all but a few which are kept in my parents vault." He smiled confidently as if it were impossible to get my hands on them.

"I can be very persuasive when I want to be Mr Wilder." I licked my lips slowly before flashing him a seductive smile.

"I have no doubts about that Ms Sears." He said in his dark sinister tone that made the butterflies in stomach take flight and tingles to rush down my spine.

His leg brushed against my black strapped heels and tickled the bare parts of my skin all the while his eyes a deep teal – almost black as they burn into mine pulling at my emotions and tugging at my core. I swallow hard and parted my lips trying to get more air while Jordan's hand moved over the arm of the chair slowly catching my attention. I watched his long fingers gild over the material before sliding over my heel and then up my leg sending a spark up my spine as if a building charge had just been released. I leaned back on my hands and tipped my head back and closed my eyes enjoying the feeling rushing through my body.

"Mia!" Julie shouted making me jump and my head snapping around to see her storm into the room with an annoyed expression on her face while a slightly amused Thomas trailed in behind her, his amusement only grew the moment he saw Jordan and I. The two men eyed each other while I jumped down and turned my attention to my friend. Julie grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.

"Bye Julie!" I heard Thomas call after us and I smiled. Well he knew her name now at least.

I let Julie drag me down to her car and I slide in the passenger seat letting her drive. She gripped the steering wheel deathly tight and focused on the road the entire time while her jaw was set and clenched making her very unsusceptible to conversation.

She parked her car in the driveway and stormed around the car and into the house before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt. I shook my head at how childish she is acting and found myself following her into the house. She stormed over to my old room and I found her starting up the Xbox and sitting on the couch with the controller.

I took my seat on the couch next to her and faced the TV watching as she set up the game. "So how'd it go?"

She clicked play and picked up her gun walking around the dirt terrain of the game and jumped into a tank and she started running people over and blowing up an entire building. "That good huh?"

She paused the game and turned to face me giving me a death glare that cold freeze my heart.

"I don't want to talk about it." She muttered and went back to killing people.

"Well he wants to be a part of the baby's life right?" I questioned knowing the answer.

"Yep." She said popping the p like it was acid in her mouth.

"He remembered your name."  I was trying to build Thomas up but it really wasn't working.

"Yep."

"Oh come one Julie. Give me something."

"He is an ass and I want nothing to do with him." She said through clenched teeth, her knuckles were turning white as she gripped the controller and pressed the buttons like she was going to try and crack them.

"What'd he do?"

"He gave me a proposition."

"What did he propose?" Engagement? For her to live with him? What exactly could he propose that would have her so riled up like this.

"It doesn't matter I'm not going to do it."

"Is it really that bad?"

"It's goes against everything I believe in. It would mean giving up my pride and... everything!" She screamed the last part. From this sentence I knew it meant giving up one and only one thing – the most important thing to her.

"Well, we'll need to clean this room out then." I said deciding to move off this secret proposition.

"Why?"

"Well it will be the baby's room and you're what two months along? Just shy of it? We can start buy things."

"Yeah I supposed so." She said with a small amount of sadness in her voice, it just means that her Xbox room would have to buddy it up with another and her junk would just have to magically disappear.

"So that's why you were trying to get me to move in with Matty when he comes down?" I said as it all finally started clicking into place.

"Yeah. I didn't want him to move in and have to quick him out. I mean he could stay for a year or so, I could have the baby in my room but when it gets older and starts to move around I want to have a baby proof room without a curling iron being left out all the time."

"Well I'll let Matty know and he can start looking for a place." Because I really can't be bothered looking for one.

"Don't tell him about the baby, please."

"Never. But you need to tell him. Have you told your parents?"

"No one but you and now Thomas." She spat out his name like a bad fruit.

"You should give him a chance Julie."

"I will, but god the nerve of him today. I swear I almost ran him over with the car but he pulled out the keys before I could drive." Car? Wait what was she doing in the car?!

"You were going to leave me?!"

"Well yeah but you looked like you were enjoying yourself up there." She winked at me and I felt the red hot blush creep up my neck, burning my ears. "Yeah that's what I thought. Careful with that one Mia, those boys don't shot blanks." She smiled and wiggled her eyebrows.

I laughed at her comment and leaned in, resting my head on her shoulder and she rested hers on mine. I grabbed her hand and laced my fingers with hers and sat them in between us.

"These Wilders are trouble Mia" She whispered.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Well there you have it, Julie's baby daddy isn't the Wilder they all thought – and Mia is jumping for joy. Hope you all enjoyed this and if you are all wondering what Thomas' proposition was ask in the comments, if I get enough interest I'll have a special couple of chapters for the pair... or maybe even their own book, who knows.
